i realize the market has changed in the last 2.5 years, but value adds can still be performed.  

I, as the founder/owner spend about 2 hours/months conducting performance reviews with these service providers.

But if you furnish a three bed home just to look good, you’ll likely not perform well.

Depending on credit history and how the property would perform from a rental income standpoint you may have access to up to 85% financing on an investment property 1-4 unit purchase. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Of course, almost nobody would or should invest in Venezuela or Argentina (although I know people who are bullish on Argentina following the election of president Millei) so I'm not sure how relevant they are in the conversation.As to Mexico, its economy is performing much better than its American counterpart.

For example in Texas a finder is limited to a maximum fee of 10% of the net amount received by the beneficiary, thereby eliminating from profitability a significant percentage of deals.This is the same over hyped, over promoted, over promised, under performing opportunity as note broker, house wholesaler, etc.

Essentially, I'm not concerned about saturation levels, as nowhere in the world is everyone doing it in the most optimized way, with the top performing properties.

Perform due diligence, including soil tests, environmental assessments, and surveys to ensure the land is suitable for construction.
